At least 9 people have been killed and 2 badly injured in a fire at a retirement home in the Tver Region, in western Russia. The Emergencies Ministry says there is evidence suggesting one of the residents committed suicide by setting himself alight, and then the flames spread throughout the building. “Several possibilities as to what caused the fire are now being considered.

An empty petroleum canister was found in his room,” said Darya Korovina from Russian Emergencies Ministry.
